Here's a shocker. It's being reported that we are bribing (read mega bucks) Iraqi parlimentarians to vote for permission for permanent Iraqi bases.

These are men who are selling out their country.

They will be very expensive to purchase as the danger of consequence will be enormous.

More Predator Police. What will it take for Corporate News to do their job and quit being PR reps for these thugs?

Pain Rays - For now it's "just" Iraqis.... Soon it will be Americans not marching in lock step

Excellent example of what 87 billion dollars really is.

America's Tiananmen Square

If there had been the tens of thousands demonstrators at the Supreme Court like there were in China 18 years ago, there would be tanks rolling in as well here (including the massacre). Welcome to the New American Police State.

Chertoff - who is the brain trust behind Katrina relief, of course looks to Israel (the homeland) for more security contracts.

FBI had prepared War Crimes files

"These were not random acts," The New York Times editorialized. "It is clear from the inspector general's report that this was organized behavior by both civilian and military interrogators following the specific orders of top officials. The report shows what happens when an American president, his secretary of defense, his Justice Department and other top officials corrupt American law to rationalize and authorize the abuse, humiliation and torture of prisoners."

We fool ourselves if we think we have an independent media. Freedom of speech is being gagged to a mumble.

al-Manar TV.

Would you feel less xenophobic if you found out that 9/11 was not orchestrated by Middle Eastern men? Just a question.

Iran Paranoia

"Alas, such a heavy-handed 'sticks' and 'carrots' policy may work with donkeys but not with serious countries." - Former US national security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski

Norman Finkelstein: Banned from Israel for 10 yrs for being critical.

A true voice of reason.

George Soros - 'We face the most serious recession of our lifetime'

Carter states the obvious, that Israel has 150 Nukes. That's hardly news.

We have armed Israel to the teeth. Not sure how competent they are with the equipment since they have never been in a evenly matched war. Based on their performance trying to sink the USS Liberty, they appear to be very incompetent.

WTC #7 - The afternoon 9/11 demolition. We cannot forget.

Also, please don't forget flight 93 in PA that hit the ground and disappeared into nothing but tiny scraps (strewn over 4 miles..... in case you aren't aware, that is not normal. Planes shot from the sky get strewn about, but not planes falling to the ground)

Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani (of Iraq) is now sending the message it is advisable to resist the occupation. Not a good sign.

Now we're killing Iraqi shepherds from our helicopters (along with 2 kids)

Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki (left) wants Blackwater out NOW.

Blackwater is this US Empire's "Praetorian Guard".

We are moving toward China vs China moving towards us.

Our history with the Korean Massacres of the 50's

It is striking how similar this picture looks to our current pics of Afghani fighters with their US "advisors"

The logic of John McCain (and his NeoCon handlers)

CHICAGO (AP) - Republican John McCain accused Democrat Barack Obama of inexperience and reckless judgment for saying Iran does not pose the same serious threat to the United States as the Soviet Union did in its day.

"Such a statement betrays the depth of Senator Obama's inexperience and reckless judgment. These are very serious deficiencies for an American president to possess," McCain said in an appearance at the restaurant industry's annual meeting.

US & Israel have unlimited nuclear strike capability vs Iran's complete absence of nuclear material PLUS no method for delivery. Now does that really compare to the USSR's multiple hundreds of missiles being moved around by land, rail, sea and space? These guys are absolutely obsessed with goading us into another Middle East land grab.

Taking Liberties

A sad commentary on our rapidly degenerating Orwellian age.

Bill Moyers piece on our fading democracy

Paul Craig Roberts - Another brilliant piece

Paul Craig Roberts a former Assistant Secretary of the US Treasury and former associate editor of the Wall Street Journal, has been reporting shocking cases of prosecutorial abuse for two decades. A new edition of his book, The Tyranny of Good Intentions, co-authored with Lawrence Stratton, a documented account of how Americans lost the protection of law, is forthcoming from Random House in March, 2008.

CIA (read NeoCons) are at it again. Fabricating stories to further the interests of Israel.

Bush is playing a dangerous game this week.

This is waterboarding.

When you think of foreign aid, you probably thought it had something to do with goodwill.

Probably one of the most important books of our times.

Do we promote terrorism by our continued shielding of Israel?

Hagee stating that God sent Katrina because the U.S. supported the forced removal of squatting Israelis in the Gaza strip.

They almost got away with another false pretense for invasion. They (DOD) won't stop here though.

NEW YORK POST (FALSE FLAG STORY)

By ERIC LENKOWITZ

April 25, 2008 -- A stash of Iranian mortars, rockets and explosives have been unearthed in Iraq - further proof that Tehran has been sending weapons across the border, it was reported today.

The cache of weapons, which the US military will publicly announce in the next few days, had date stamps showing they were made within the past two months, according to The Wall Street Journal. Military officials told the paper the weapons prove that, despite Iran's denials, it is continuing its support of Shiite militants in Iraq.

Nada

"We just want our lives back," said a college student who gave her name only as Nada. "We want to eat, buy clothes, get proper education and breathe pure air. No thanks to Americans for their effort to bring us democracy that killed half of us by their bombs and is now apparently killing the other half by starvation. Can you pass this message to the American people for us?"

Now tubby says that the Catholic church is NOT the great whore. Tubby's love of politics has him embracing zionism and now the great antichrist.

I am certain there are some very sick and sordid tales in Hagee's baggage.

Ron Paul had an amazing run. He is truly a special person.

A brave man here.

The fella that brought us illegal wire taps has just had the most amazing epiphany:

"China's military could get 'adversarial'"

Imagine that. American warmonger's nightmare. An adversary who can actually fight in the skies and atmosphere. And it's good that we have crakerjack intelligence like this.

WTC#7 - The 9/11 afterthought

WTC#7 - The Japanese are debating it in their congress and Europe has been showing presentations like this for years.

82 y/o patient tasered in hospital bed after police couldn't disable him with a food cart....

Here is the perfect weapon for these Barney Fife's. If tasering them doesn't do the trick, just cut 'em down with rapid fire ballistics.

Power hungry idiots.

Myanmar's Senior General: Than Shwe - The face of pure evil

Shwe w/ his minions

If there ever was a case for invading a country this is it. We could bomb them with bread and water and leaflets and we could sit back and watch these junta idiots shrivel from the rage of their people.

Pat Buchanan wrote a very coherent piece about who the NeoCons are and what they are doing to the Republican Party (and Nation)

Philly Police Gang - More Thugs w/ Badges

I'm really surprised one of the cops didn't fire at the helicopter recording it.

Sami al-Haj (Jounalistic photographer) is finally out of Guantanamo and returned home to Sudan.

6 Yrs of torture. No apology, no charges, just flown home on a military transport, carried off on a stretcher to a Khartoum hospital.

As an American, Mr. al-Haj, I am deeply sorry for what our lunatic fundamentalists (w/ manipulation by the NeoCons) have done to you and your family.

America - WAKE UP!

Rod Parsley - An Evangelical Mullah (a very scary individual for over a Billion people)

Evangelicals are turning from being silly fruitcakes to outright terror makers (with great influence over a ridiculously large nuclear arsenal).

FEMA excercise in Iowa. There is nothing benign about this all powerful entity.

In crisis, real or imagined, FEMA supersedes all Congressional, State, County or City law.

Imagine Thomas Paine learning where we have slid. He truly would be an Anarchist today.

Myanmar - 100,000 individuals lost? Hard to comprehend.

Flight 93 - A Jet nosedives into the ground and disappears.

One of many fabulously outrageous lies told on 9/11. Watch if you care to think.

I don't think the guys that started this system could stomach the naked assault on reason in today's "democracy"
